Social networks

Social network use PHP backend library Hybridauth

How to set it up?

You can set up which social network logins are enabled on which domain in social_network_config.yaml file.

For every social network, you need app_id and app_secret. Below you have information on where and how to get them. The credentials then need to be set to the corresponding environment variables.

Facebook

  • go to site https://developers.facebook.com/ and log into Facebook account
  • create application
  • in that application, in App settings → Basic you will find app_id and app_secret

Google

  • log into Google account and create OAuth 2.0 Client IDs
  • in detail, you will find Client ID and Client secret
  • in Client ID settings, you need to add an authorized redirect URI, which is {eshop_domain}/social-network/login/google

Seznam

  • log to your Seznam account and go to page https://vyvojari.seznam.cz/oauth/admin
  • create service and first data are app_id and app_secret

Every social network require URL for backward redirect to you app. In Shopsys platform, you have to add url {eshop_domain}/social-network/login/{type} where {eshop_domain} is your domain and {type} is social network name, e.g.: google, facebook, seznam, etc. For local development, social networks usually require https.

P.S.: If you are owner of the Facebook application, and you log in with this owner account, email will not come after login, more info: https://github.com/hybridauth/hybridauth/issues/1372#issuecomment-1542447803

How to add next social network

Only what you have to do is add configuration to file social_network_config.yaml and add a new value to LoginTypeEnumDecorator.types.yaml. The provider key (i.e. the name of the social network) in the social_network_config.yaml file must be the same as the key in LoginTypeEnum. It should be enough to get inspired by Facebook or Google configs.
